To all whom it may concern: a

Be it known that I, BERTRAND P. KENYQN; a citizen of the United States,residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan,have invented certain new and usefuklinprovements in Vapor-Burners; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appert-ains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in devices for burning the vapor ofgasolene or other volatile liquid; and its object is to pro vide aburner that will at pleasure afford a flame of large area and greatheating capacity or a flame of lesser area and capacityand also bereadily and conveniently heated and lighted in the first instance and toprovide the device with certain new and useful features hereinafter morefully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

My device consists, essentially, in a fixed outer burner 01": large areaand having a central opening and also supplied with vapor from a movablegenerator-burner adapted to be adjusted in the opening of theouterburnerand to generate vapor for both itself and the outer burnerand also adapted to be moved outside the said outer burner to be moreoon veniently heated and lighted, as will more fully appear by'referenceto the accompany: ing drawings, in WhlCll-- Figure 1 is a side elevationof a device embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a plan view of the same withthe positionofthe generatorburner when it is moved out for heating andlighting shown in broken lines; and Fig. 3, a

detailed elevation at right angles to'Fig. 1, showing more fully themeans of movably supporting the generator-burner.

Like letters refer to like parts in all of the figures. Q

A represents a suitable bed-plate, annular in form, as herein shown, andsuitably supported by legs B.

C is the outer burner, supported within the opening of the bed-plateAbysuitable brackets B, the burner being annular in form, as hereinshown, and surrounding the generatorburner D and somewhat above theplane thereof; This outer burneris provided with afiat topprovided withnumerous tips 0' for the escape of the combustible mixture of air andvapor and is provided with an annular distributing-chamber E to receiveand dis tribute said mixture to the tips 0. An in take-pipe F extendsdownward and inward from the distributing-chamber and has an openingopposite the'needlewalve' G of the generator-burner, from which valvethe vapor escapes to supply the outer burner G.

The generator-burner D is of the usual construction, having theneedle-valve G to supply vapor to its own burner and an auxiliaryneedle-valve G to supply vapor to the outer burner when the same isneeded. This generator-burner is movably mounted and supportedbyhavingits stand-pipe H attached to one end of a supply-pipe I, extendinghorizontally outward and thence vertically upward through a bracket Jand the bed-plate A, in which bracket and plate said supplypipe isrotative. This supply-pipe extends upward to a tank (not shown) tocontain the supply ofgasolene or other fluid. "A coupplate and supportthe supply-pipe.

The distributing-chamber E is recessed at the under side at E to permitthe generatingburnerD to pass under the same. The supply-pipe I willthus turn fully in the bracket and bed-plate and permit of swinging thegenerating-burner from within the balance of the device.Itisthen-readily accessible for the usual process of preliminary heatingand lighting. It may then be swung inward beneath the opening of theouter burnerG and used for heating alone when only a moderate heat isrequired, and whenevera much greater heat is required the valve G may beopened and the outer burner will at once come into form and supply vaporfor both burners.

Having thus fully described myinvention, whatI claim, and desire tosecure byLetters Patent, is-- y 1. A vapor burner consisting of a fixedouter burner having a central opening, a genorator-burner movablysupported within said opening and adapted to be moved outside the areaof the outer burner, and means for conling 1 serves as a collar toengage "the bedaction also, the generating-burnerserving to I veyingcombustible vapor from the generatorburner to the fixed outerburner,substantially as described.

2. The combination of an outer burner having a central opening and anintake-pipe, a generator-burner movablysupported beneath said openingand having an auxiliary needlevalve opposite said intake-pipe, and meansfor moving the generator-burner outside the area of the outer burner,substantially as described.

3. The combination of a fixed outer burner having a central opening, andan intake-pipe extending downward and inward, a supplypipe extendingvertically and thence horizontally beneath the outer burner, androtative on its Vertical axis, a generator-burner mounted on the movableend of the supply-pipe, and having an auxiliary needle-valve to supplyvapor to the said intake-pipe, substantially as described.

4. The combination of a bed-plate having a circular opening, an annularburner sup ported in said opening and having a downwardly-extendedintake-pipe, a generatorburner movably supported beneath the opening ofthe outer burner on a supply-pipe extending horizontally from thestand-pipe of the generator -burner, and thence upward through thebed-plate and rotative therein, and an auxiliary needle-valve on thegenerator-burner to supply vapor to the intake-pipe, substantially asdescribed.

5. The combination of an annular bedplate, anannular burnerinthe openingof the bed-plate and having a flat top provided with tips, adistributing-chamber having a reduced portion and a downwardly andinwardly extended intake-pipe, a vertical supply-pipe rotative in thebed-plate and having a collar engaging the bed-plate, a horizontalextension of the supply pipe beneath the annular burner, agenerator-burner mounted on the horizontally-movable end of the supplypipe, and an auxiliary valve on the generatorburner to supply the saidintake-pipe with vapor, substantially as described.-

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
